Mothers of Soldiers

A wonderful blog to read is A Soldier’s Mother. A mother in Israel writes about her son Elie and about being the mother of a soldier: the fears, the desire for connection with other mothers, dealing with journalists, the waiting.

My cousin’s wife is also the mother of soldiers. She has five sons, with four that are of military age. Her eldest chose the military as his career. When I hear of the Golani brigade, I think of them.
(I also have relatives who were in the U.S. military…long since retired).
